AbiWord Document (.abw)

The ABW file extension stands for AbiWord Document, a word-processing file format used by the open-source AbiWord software. Developed by the AbiSource community, ABW files support formatted text, images, tables, lists, and footnotes. Originally popular for its cross-platform compatibility, AbiWord has since focused on Linux. ABW files are based on XML, allowing them to be opened with various text editors, though best viewed with AbiWord.

ROFF Manuscript Document (.ms)

The MS file extension, short for "Manuscript", is associated with the roff (runoff) document formatting system used in Unix-like operating systems. It is part of the GNU roff (groff) implementation, which formats documents such as letters, memoranda, reports, and books. Historically, it evolved from the Multics runoff system in the 1960s and became integral to Unix documentation. The MS macro package supports features like cover pages, table of contents, numbered headings, and multi-column layouts.
